Ali was baptised by Deacon Minner at St. Mary’s Church in German Village this past Labor Day weekend . The service was held after the 9am Sunday mass and many friends and family members were able to attend. Ali’s God-parents, Chad Lybarger and Amanda Vinditti, were also both able to attend. I have updated our family photos to include a baptism album with pictures of the event.

We held a Baptism/Labor Day cookout on Saturday. Lucky for us it was a beautiful day and we were able to eat outside since our house is not really large enough to accommodate for all the people that were here. We are very thankful that we were able to have guests from all over and a large part of Ali’s family was able to celebrate with her. Feel free to leave some comments after viewing the photos and video.

And a big THANK YOU goes out to everyone for making this day happen.

Alexandra was born very quickly, Colleen informed me at 7:10 that she had a strong contraction and that I should get the car ready. We were on the highway by 7:25 and we pulled up to the hospital by 7:40. By 7:58, Alexandra was on Colleen’s chest. There was no time for anything, she was delivered very quickly and no matter how much pain Colleen had she pushed through it by herself and gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

I will update this post when I find a little more time, I am currently between runs from home and hospital. Once home, I am sure I will have some late-night time to update the post and all the photos and video taken so far. We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, kind words and thoughts. We look forward to eventually seeing everybody.

Check back often for updates.

<—- July 31 Update—->

We have taken a few pictures (close to 1000 so far, hah) and I have taken a few of our favorites and posted them in the photo gallery under Ali Comes Home. Feel free to take a look at them and leave a comment. I have many more pictures but just not enough time to go through them. Once I find a little more time to sort and upload them I will have another gallery for you to look at. Until then I hope you will enjoy what we have posted so far.
